ALEXANDRIA, VA-The Office of Historic Alexandria (OHA) is participating in a nationwide survey designed to determine the social impact of museums on visitors. The Museum Social Impact Practice is led by the American Alliance of Museums and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
OHA is looking for at least 150 participants. The survey runs through August. If chosen, you will be asked to visit three different museums at three different times. You will then fill out the 30-minute survey to describe your experiences.
Admission is free and these museums count toward the project:
- Alexandria Archaeology Museum
- Alexandria Black History Museum
- Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum
- Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site
- Freedom House Museum at 1315 Duke Street
- Friendship Firehouse Museum
- Gadsby’s Tavern Museum
- Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum
For completing the survey, you will be invited to a special event in November where the results will be announced. You will also gain free admission into the ALXHistoryLovers Soiety and receive a thank-you gift. To register, click HERE. For complete details, click HERE.
